"Buying a new house in a new country is always a daunting experience. However from the minute we gave him the go ahead we were confident on his expertise and negotiation skills. We actually went on holiday and had a house when we got back! Our seller was not the easiest but all the deal was done by and through Jaap. He is a rare case of a professional who truly can see from the client's point of view and understand what you are looking for. But most importantly was the after service, when there was some hidden troubles in the house, he stepped in again and solved all. We will be certainly using his services in the near future and I cannot recommend him enough."

"My wife and myself were trying to work the bidding and purchase process with the local Dutch agent and finding we were fighting unbelievable issues. This covered such things as incorrect reports about the sellers sanity, to not hearing any news when promised, to not securing a deal within the required time. Jaap Russchen came in at the final make or break hour and secured an acceptable deal and all within hours of meeting the seller. We could not have asked for anything more!"

"If you need to find a house and have fantastic advice on the all the areas in and around Amsterdam, Jaap is the person you need to help you. I thought the process of buying a house would have taken months and would have been a painful experience, but Jaap made the process so smooth and easy that I was shocked when I had the keys in my hand. He helped me find a good area, set up the viewings, negotiated the price with the agent, looked over all the paperwork and got me a great mortgage. I moved in to the house 2.5 weeks after my offer had been accepted, which was very quick and wouldn't have been possible without the proactive approach and network of Jaap. I would recommend anyone looking for a house in the Netherlands to Jaap."

"Being a complete novice on the property market let alone the Dutch market, Mr Russchen was referred to me by a close friend who was very positive about the house they bought and the way it was done by him. Mr Russchen was diligent in his questioning and managed to identify all the areas that were of key interest, my buying motives, personal taste on so forth. He managed to link all my criteria to a particular property, and he arranged the first viewing. He was encouraging of the apartment, and said this is the one he would choose himself, in our place. He nonetheless recognized that I needed a selection in order to compare, and followed up with viewings of a selection of most interesting apartments in the locality. After little deliberation, and it did indeed transpire that the first property was the most attractive in every way- location, price and potential, Mr Russchen started negotiating firmly, till a very good deal was made. Mr Russchen has been a tremendous support every step of the way, I value the very personalized service, and would recommend him to any ex-pat and local with a vested interest in the property market."
